Step 5 - Take the First Manual Hit

When you start the calibration procedure for the LSPX1H / HR-X (HR-X1-P) Probe Changer, a series of message boxes prompts you through the process of measuring a series of manual hits. The first two hits are required to fully define the orientation of the rack in the machine’s XY plane. It is not necessary to align the rack to any single axis, as the manual hits will identify any rotation involved. Follow the prompts and take the needed hits as shown in the pictures for each hit.

You will take the first hit on the front surface on the left side of the last port. You should take the hit on the flat surface (avoid the tapered corner). The prompt for the first hit on the front surface of the last port is:

PC-DMIS Message

Please take a hit on the front surface on the left side of the last port (port 3). Be careful to avoid the tapered corner and take the hit on the flat portion.

1. When you are ready to take the first measurement, click OK.

2. Use your machine's jog box to take the first manual hit in the XY plane on the vertical face on the front left face of the last port as shown below:
